Drinks that Refresh but do not Intoxi,
cate.

There are a great many hot wealth
er drinks that can be prepared at
home, which rival the tipples to be
had at a bar-room or soda-fountain.
Adeliciously cool drink is made by
placing a tablespoonful of cracked
ice in a tumbler with the juice of one
lemon, or half a lemon and one lime,
one tablespoonful of sugar; stir until
well mixed, and pour upon this a
bottle of plain soda that has been
kept upon ice. Do not indulge in
this when over-heated. Soda nectar,
if mixed with care, is by no means
to be dispised. Put a tablespoonful
of crushed ice in a glass with the
juice of one lemon and three Jumps
Of sugar that have been grated over
the rind; fill up with ice-water, and
when well mixed stir in a very scant
tablespoonful Of carbonate of soda.
Drink while the liquor is in an effer-
vescing state.
Cider flip is also very good. Beat
the egg as above, using less sugar;
pour on it a bottle of of cold, sweet
cider; CRATE a little nutmeg on top
and you have a NITROUS and tasteful
beverage.

quaintance says that her husband is

CONGRESS AND CONS ULs,

Congress is certainly acting in very
inconsistent manner, and II "the wis
dom OF Congress" is indeed the wis
dom OF the nation, American wisdom
is certainly not a brilliant article. 1t
is voting away the peoples millions
with pro use prodigality, as means Of
getting rid Of the surplus, but Is often
refusing TO expsnd money where 1t is
actually needed. For instance, in the
great work OF the Mississippi river i'm
provement, where .levery dollar ex.
pended will bring liberal return In
the increase OF productions and the tx-
tension Of commerce, senseless penu.
robustness cuts down estimates, and
even leaves the Commissioners with
out an appropriation for their pay.
Last week Congressshowed another in
s'ancs OF stupid economy. The sort Of
American Consuls abroad and the
miserable spots they have for offices,
have been reproach to the United
States for years. With our people
who travel this has been matter Ct
continual complaint. So small is the
pay Of these Consuls that men utterly
incompetent are often the only ones
that will accept the position, and their
pay will not allow them, in most cases,
to have an appropriate Office over
which to display the American fl ig.
Mr.. Belmont has very properly intro
duced a bill In Congress for remedy
ing this crying evil, but Congress does
not care enough for the honor OF the
country to apply the necessary rem.
edy, and our Washington correspond.
ent, in his letter Published on Sunday,
says that CHE result will be that,th
will be no change In the status OF the
Ministers and Consuls, and the work
OF reformation favored by the State
Department, must be postponed"
The fact is that our Obinese wall
OF a protective system is throw
ing everything wrong in our for.
eign affairs. Our ships are driven
from the open ocean by that
system, foreigners take the trade from
our own continent that should be ours,
and our represe natives abroad are too
commonly disgrace to the American
name. The chickens will come home
to roost, however. When the rail.
roads now contracting are FIJI he'd,
aud the shops and factories now build
ing are producing more merchandise
than we can consume at home, we
shall want foreign marx cts Then

night, and resulted in grand triumph.

tended and enjoyed an evening of I'M
alloyed pleasure. The Pcive men,
bsrs of ths company, to the number OF
twenty. Tour, gave an exhibition drill,
continuing from $3.50 to a few minutes
after 10 O'Clock, and surprised even
their most ardent friends by the accu.
rate, graceful and easy manner in
which they handled toe guns and
went through the va nus evolu'ions.
Capt. Deffrey displayed great skill ia
the management of the men, as the
room was crowded with spects t rs.
This lat or fact, however, seemed to
have lit le tff5ct on the boys, and
they behaved like old veterans. 10

the WATER QUESTION.

The position taken by Mr.. Hadden
in the APPEAL OF Sunday as to the
Water Bill, is not the correct one. He
has no right to assume that the repre-
sentatives in the Legislature from
Shelby county speak with as much au-
thority for the people Of Memphis as
the Taxing District Council and the
Commi tee OF Ten, Until the people
by public action oppose them elves TO
the bill, It should be with the Legisla-
ture % their declared will and
wish. Nor should the much
Wanted petition have weight against
the bill Of the Taxing District Commits
sioners. Signatures to petitions can
be had for almost any purpose for the
asking, and va DO no think the pub
lie will should either be impaired or

vote can readily b. had But all this
aside, It will be an indelible disgrace
upon the people OF Memphis II Bull
